Personal Statement: My Relationship With A Mentor

My mentor throughout my entire life was my many basketball coaches. Every each one of them help me out with my life in school by keeping my mind focus on how I need to do what is needed to be done first and extra activities last. They always say that you should do your work first and play after. Become a student athlete. The main that you want to do as an athlete still in high school is try to go to college with some type of sports scholarship since you do not need to pay for most of the college money. They also help me organize and prepare and be ready to win the next day. To always try your hardest and give 110 %. When I am in trouble during practice they would make you do extra exercise as a punishment but to never think of it as a punishment but as you putting in more

Since the Respect Mentorship Program is a developmental opportunity, I hope that I am able to benefit from it to the fullest degree. I hope that through mentorship I can explore some of my own character flaws, whether they may pertain to the reason I’m in RMP or not. Respect Mentorship provides opportunities that not every cadet has the ability to get so even though it is basically a punishment - I don’t really see it as such. I believe that through this process of looking internally with the help of others I will be able to use Respect Mentorship to make myself a better person.

Chapter 5: Are You a Mentor? , provides advice on how to and how “not to” find a mentor. Having mentorship is important to career succession, but what is the best way to find and maintain a mentor. Since, unfortunately, women seem to have more difficulty than men in finding a mentor, Sandberg suggests that rather than asking someone to be your mentor, women should ” Excel and you will get a mentor.” She emphasizes to do good work, ask profound questions and always be respectful of you mentors time in order to maintain a mentor. Chapter 6:

For this project my mentor will be mrs. Lourdes, she used to babysit me when I was little. She lives in Mexico and I had lost her phone number, therefore I had to do some investigation before I could contact her, but it was worth it. Her husband died when her children were very little but she kept going and gave all her four children a career. She paid for all their school supplies and believe me it was not an easy task, and she was always characterized for having a smile on her face and her willingness to help others

The theme of mentoring stood out to me in this week’s readings, and lecture. Mentoring is an important process that impacts all involved through connecting on a topic and also on a personal level. In this commentary I will first reflect on how my college mentors helped me. Second I will address if and when it is appropriate to be a mentor to elementary and middle school students. Lastly I will discuss how I encourage students in their creativity, and ideas for the future.

I called my mentor at 3pm to let him know I was on my way to his apartment. When I got to his place, he opened the door and welcomed me in. We talked about our week and decided to look at the list that we made together. The list has activities that he wants to do before we terminate our relationship. I read the list aloud reminding him that I’m reading some of the ideas we came up with together. When I was finished reading the list he said, “I wanted to make dinner together.” He already thawed the chicken legs in the refrigerator. I asked him what he wanted to make out of the chicken and he wanted hot wings and chicken broccoli rice. I found a recipe on the Internet for Buffalo wings. I started putting the chicken legs on a baking pan. My mentor

There are no preferences for me to work with children of a particular age group group and subject area because I am a well-rounded team player. Through volunteer work I've done with mentorship programs, I've gained much experience teaching children of all age groups many subjects including math, science, social studies, dance, poetry, drama, and creative

I wanted to give you an update on the process underway to identify mentors for the upcoming Beacon intern group. After getting feedback from the current group of interns and mentors, we determined a little different approach for this year. As you recall, last year, SLT identified a number of potential mentors; along with HRBP’s; we then checked to see if they had interest and confirmed approval with their leaders. We selected a final diverse group primarily based on HRBP feedback and our own personal knowledge of the individuals. We were really pleased with the outcomes. There were a couple of the mentors that just weren’t the right fit for the intern and struggled a bit connecting –however that certainly could happen again but it did help us to think

1)  I am applying for the peer mentor position because I want to give back to the program. When I was accepted into the EOP program I was not ready for college. I still had a high school mentality where friends and partying was always first. Then EOP happened where I realized friends and partying were not going to help me earn a degree. I am grateful for the support of the mentors and faculty members that help push me along the way. I learn that responsibility and time management were the keys to doing well. This is what I want to give back to these incoming EOP student. Someone that can help them be college ready and take advice from an upper classmen. I have already been through EOP and successfully completed half way of sophomore year. So I have the knowledge and ability to share skills to the income students.

My Mentor goes by the name of Alexandria. Alexandria is a long time friend of mines who have recently passed away. We meet through my best friend one day when i came over her house and she was sitting there. When i walked in she was looking at me a certain kind of way and i couldn't understand why. Alexandria and I were like two peas in a pod she was my everyday girl my number one supporter in everything i did in life.

As a recent new graduate I have had several different mentors through the process of obtaining my license. The one that stands out the most is one of my coworkers who I worked under during the new graduate residency program. This individual was not only my preceptor, but a mentor to me. She had qualities that I aspire to have as I grow as a nurse. She was a leader, loved to learn and teach, encouraged, and was very supportive. She is one of a few nurses that I can always turn to when I need assistance and she is always willing to teach and help.

The aim of this essay is to discuss on how the reflection on mentorship will be undertaken, how and why the model of reflection will be used and the importance of confidentiality. I will reflect the mentorship by ensuring that the mentee during clinical practice is put at ease throughout the learning experience of four weeks (Quinn, and Hughes 2007, p. 29). Also, I will use the principle of Kolb’s learning cycle as my model of reflection because reflecting is an essential element of learning. As I am the mentor, I will follow this cycle in a clockwise direction with Jude, so she would have to reflect on the skills learnt by reviewing the whole situation (Kolb’s learning cycle 1984 in Rose and Best 2005, p.129). This would enable Jude to

Mentorship is very important in the workplace especially in the area of training and development. The mentor-protégé relationship is a much needed relationship that begins in the early career stage and this relationship involves the current or new employees and the supervisor or other colleagues that provide work-related guidance. The relationship itself is comprehensive and involves “educational, occupational, physical, social, and spiritual development” (Greenhaus,, Callanan, & Godshalk, 2010, p 211). One of the initial task of the early career the establishment of the career field which involves the gaining of the workplace competence, learn what is needed to excel in the organization, and to gain acceptance in the workplace to be recognized as the valued employee. There are many ways of achieving the above mentioned advantages in the workplace which one main method is through the use of the mentorship program.

a. My interviewing skills have come to help me know my mentor (Harriet Kulakoff) as a person because they allowed me to engage with her in conversation not only about her thoughts on healthy aging but to explore some of her interests such as playing tennis and golf or going swimming. Throughout the interview, building off the questions asked by my team members I was also able to illicit her opinion about varying issues including the use of social media and gain her thought on the younger generation and what we can do to support each other as we age as well as become more engaged with each other in light of our seeming dependence on social media. It was an enriching experience to listen to my mentor and having the right interviewing skills to ensure that both she, myself and my team members were comfortable and engaged aided in us having a successful and productive interview.

With the development of the more organic and less formal organisational structures the role of mentors has shifted with these changes. Unlike previously where mentors where seen as formal trainers who taught newcomers the processes and got them acquainted with the cultures and the systems within the organisation. Which required good interpersonal skills and a good knowledge of the activity or tasks the mentee would have to undertake, and be able to effectively relay or demonstrate the tasks or activities to the mentee. As opposed to more recently where a mentor would have to be more of an emotional counselor and demonstrate more skills than were traditionally required from
